Sweet Tea Shakespeare shows are decidedly different. We approach the work -- William Shakespeare and well beyond -- in a way that seeks to remind ourselves and our audiences of what it means to be fully human. Coming to a Sweet Tea Shakespeare show is a bit like coming to a party where a play breaks out, or a ballgame. Our shows feel like an event, not just a play. Grab a snack and a drink during our live music preshows and enjoy them -- without judgment -- throughout the show. Snag some special seating in our special seating upgrade auction. Flag down a swag-monger like you would at the stadium.

Why do we do this?

Taking our cue from the things that made Shakespeare, well, Shakespeare, we seek a return to the spirit of theatre that includes fellowship, engagement, and interaction. And we do it (frequently) without the stuffy expectations often laid on from those sometimes-dreadful high school Shakespeare experiences. You'll see very few ruffs. No "this is very important work" approaches.

We believe plays are meant to be play. And we invite you to play with us.
